Cartooning with Mr Ollie  |  Tim Oliphant

Mr. Ollie makes it easy for students to create their own cartoons by combining simple geometric shapes anyone can draw. Students create their own cartoon subjects and refine their appearance and personalities through multiple pencil sketches before finishing them with india ink, chalk and oil pastels. Their unique cartoon characters can be displayed, published or used to storyboard their very own animated series.

Tim Oliphant

Tim Oliphant (aka Mr. Ollie) has been a professional cartoonist since 1983, producing caricatures, daily comic strips, self-syndicated editorial cartoons, and freelance humorous illustrations. 

His simple approach to teaching the fundamentals of drawing, based on just four basic shapes, guarantees success for all. 

Mr. Ollie is a long time member of the National Cartoonists Society and served as its Education Committee Chairman for ten years.
